View Award Description

National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research Advanced Rehabilitation Research Training (ARRT) Program - Employment (University of Wisconsin - Madison) - The University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-M) Department of Rehabilitation Psychology and Special Education will provide advanced multidisciplinary postdoctoral rehabilitation training in research focused on improving the employment outcomes of persons with disabilities. This 5-year Advanced Rehabilitation Research and Training Program on Employment provides didactic education and applied learning experiences designed to equip postdoctoral trainees with the necessary skills to conduct advanced employment research. The goal of this project is to train advanced postdoctoral researchers to develop their capacity to improve the delivery and quality of vocational rehabilitation services and improve employment outcomes of persons with disabilities. The project objectives are to: 1. recruit four highly qualified postdoctoral fellows, including individuals from diverse ethnic/minority and/or disability backgrounds, and prepare them to conduct independent research related to disability and rehabilitation; 2. provide a training program that includes didactic instruction, is multidisciplinary, and emphasizes scientific methodology; 3. provide academic and career mentorship and research experiences with qualified researchers and practicum experience with organizations representing individuals with disabilities; 4. provide opportunities for participation in the development of professional presentations and scholarly publications and for attendance at professional conferences and meetings. The research training program will address the persistent need to develop a systematic and inclusive vocational rehabilitation research agenda to improve the quality of employment outcomes for Americans with disabilities. A team of mentors from the UW-M and additional employment researchers from around the United States for the mentorship team. The ARRT Fellowship is supported by a national team of researchers and consumers representing the external advisory committee. In Year 1 the UW-M-ARRT will employ a broad and comprehensive recruitment strategy, as defined in the application, to identify one ARRT Trainee. In Years 2-4 one additional ARRT Trainee will be recruited each year. Each trainee will complete a two-year traineeship, such that all trainees will have completed their training by Year 5. Through the provision of academic and career mentorship and the advanced research experiences and practicum experience with organizations representing individuals with disabilities, we anticipate that each trainee will exit the fellowship to a career in, or largely comprised of, employment research focused on improving the quality of employment outcomes for Americans with disabilities.
